Maryland State Police have identified the victim in Sunday's fatal hit-and-run crash in Worcester County as a 38-year-old Berlin man.

Troopers from the Berlin Barrack responded to Race Track Road and Gum Point Road in Berlin shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday where a crash involving a car and a bicycle had been reported, police said.

The driver fled the scene, and the bicyclist, now identified as Jose Eduardo Madrid Pineda, was taken to Atlantic General Hospital, according to police, where he was pronounced dead.

Monday morning, police released the identity of a person of interest in the investigation, Jonathan Torin Kidder, 59, of Berlin, and as of noon Tuesday, police said investigators were still working to locate him for questioning about the incident.

Anyone who has been in contact with Kidder is urged to call the Berlin Barrack at 410-641-3101.

At the intersection in the area of the collision, State Highway Administration Assistant Media Relations Manager Shanteé Felix said in an email that there was an issue with slope erosion along Race Track Road, also known as MD 589, about five years ago.

The area was temporarily patched up because it was not considered an "emergency" or an "immediate safety hazard to highway users," she said. There is an orange traffic barrier in the shoulder along the roadway where the slope erosion occured, but the crash did not occur near the barrier, according to SHA.

Felix said a project is set to begin this fall to stabilize that roadside slope.
